the Fairy Court - part 2
The continuing story of the White Cat Sequel
Taken by the Fairies
The Fairy judges listened intently as the Wizard continued on with Kassia's story...
"So the Fairy Queen took the baby Princess..."
"...and her dragons took the cradle, and they all went back to the Fairy castle..."
"Where all the other younger fairies were eagerly waiting to see her..."
'You are going to be my daughter now.'
And she passed the baby to the fairies who would be taking care of her....
'She's so cute!!'
And they laid the baby down into her own cradle...
Raised by the Fairies
"The fairies raised little Kassia with all the advantages due her royal status."
"They loved her..."
"...and enjoyed playing with her."
Questioning
"Kassia grew up into a lovely little girl, thinking the Fairy Queen was her Mother, and the other smaller fairies were her sisters..."
"But as she got older she began to realize that she was not like the others."
"She felt different from the fairies who came every day to play with her..."
"They loved playing with her and her toys."
"..and having tea parties together with her dolls..."
"Kassia wondered why she didn't have wings like everyone else? Was she even a fairy?"
"But no one would answer."
"She started to feel like there was some kind of secret they weren't telling her, and often sat out on her own.."
"And she would spend hours staring out the window wondering what was out there beyond the garden gates..."
"What weren't they telling her?"
"She felt very isolated and alone, even in a room full of fairies. However, unknown to the little Princess, there actually were other humans in the castle, humans stolen away to become servants to the fairies. There were maids, cooks, and guards, but they were all forbidden contact with the little Princess, so she didn't even know of their existence..."
"The Fairy Queen did came every day to spend some time with her..."
".. but she wouldn't answer Kassia's questions either."
"She just knew she wasn't like the fairies, and wondered if there was anyone else like her out there."
Finally, the Truth
"As she grew older, Kassia continued to wonder about who she was..."
"...and why she was living here with all the Fairies.."
"They still came every day, and they were good to her..."
"But even with all the fairies for company, she couldn't help but feel alone."
"Then one day, while out wandering in the garden, she met someone. A young man - a Prince - who had come across the castle totally by chance."
"He was the first man she had ever seen, and she was cautiously intrigued."
"She wanted to know more about the world outside the garden gate, and he about her, so they agreed to meet secretly each day, while the Fairy Queen was away..."
"He would tell her all about his world outside the gates.."
"And she would tell him about her life in the Fairy castle."
"He told her of the stories he'd heard of how a Fairy Queen had stolen away a human baby Princess to raise as her own, and no one had seen her since. Then Kassia suddenly realized that she was that Princess!!"
"It suddenly all made sense. The Fairy Queen was not really her Mother, and the other fairies were not her sisters!! She was human just like him! It was a lot to take in. But now, finally knowing the truth, Kassia felt even more like a prisoner."
"She looked forward to her secret meetings with the Prince each day...and soon fell in love."
"..and they started planning her escape, so they could be together."
Caught!
"Then one day the Prince stayed too long..."
"...and the Fairy Queen arrived home early..."
"Well, well..... seems we have caught a rat!"
"Seems our lovely Kassia has been keeping a secret from us."
"What is going on here??"
"We are in love..."
"...and we want to be together..."
"The Fairy Queen was very angry and turned to Kassia.
'After everything I've done for you!
You betray me ....by sneaking around out here...with...this...this young man!''"
'After everything I've done for you!
You betray me ....by sneaking around out here...with...this...this young man!''"
'Well....I'll put a stop to this!! My dragons will make sure of it!!
There's nothing they enjoy more than a nice tasty treat!!'
There's nothing they enjoy more than a nice tasty treat!!'
'No!!! Please!! Don't!! No!!!! Punish me...but don't harm him!!!'
Cursed
The courtroom fell silent...
...and Adrian reached over to hold Kassia's hand.
"This poor girl watched in horror as the dragons devoured her beloved Prince..."
"...but there was even more to come."
"The jealous Fairy Queen then turned her anger towards Kassia..."
"...and transformed her into a cat."
"This is what you get for betraying me! You'll spend the rest of your life as a cat!'
'The only way to break my spell, and be returned to your human form again, would be.....that someone who looks exactly like your unfortunate lover.... should fall in love with you...even though you are a cat.'
'You cannot tell him that you are enchanted, or who you really are, or you will stay a cat forever.
You must convince this non-existent man that he must cut out your heart!'
You must convince this non-existent man that he must cut out your heart!'
"Poor Kassia was grief stricken."
" She was in shock, and barely noticed when another cat approached."
"I'm Lucy, Miss. I'm so sorry for what that Fairy Queen has done to you."
'I am one of the servants who lives in the castle. The Fairy Queen made sure you never saw, or knew about us.
But we knew all about you.'
But we knew all about you.'
'She's turned all of us servants into cats...before she, and all the other fairies, abandoned the castle.'
'So...you mean....I'm not all alone??'
'No Miss. I know this has been a horrific day....and you have suffered a terrible loss....
but know that you are not alone....and we will be here for you.'
but know that you are not alone....and we will be here for you.'
'All of us will get through this together.'
